MUSTARD I – Ch. 30 (FINALE) | KT OLLA

ALUKHO wrapped up now, as he came to end his lengthy talk. But he had just grazed the crux of the matter. The escape from the war that Moro sought.

Even so, the preacher made to end his words; for they were words to end a night.

So the young Jamaican Christian hit the nail.

He said: ‘The Messiah has since returned to Heaven. He ascended alive to be the only Way to God.

‘The only Mediator and Go-between between mankind and the Almighty.

‘That is why, in Jesus, I can be sure of the morrow ’cause He has taken care of my destiny!

‘I no longer need to appease things to, at least, survive – I settle things in my prayers through Jesus.

‘And if you accept Him as your Lord also, you won’t have to pay for your people’s sin – as you won’t stay a part of their evil from now on.

‘This is how you can escape bad fate for ever!’

Moro raised his head.

‘I want to serve Him; but you said He has returned to Heaven. So how can I reach Him?

‘Or have you His image here with you, so I can keep it?’

‘No, that is not the way?’ replied Alukho. ‘The Lord Jesus is called Emmanuel. His name means, God is with us.

‘So He’s with us and we don’t need a carved image.

‘He is God and inseparable from the Most High. So you cannot carry Him about like the idols.

‘He is the one carrying us—not the other way round.’

Moro was touched. ‘His yoke is truly easy! And then, it feels peaceful that He’s the one to carry me!’

Alukho nodded at him. ‘That is why I can fight in this war and not be afraid...

‘For the morrow is glorious – be it here at the end of war, or else in the hereafter!’

Moro gazed up now.

‘If You can do this for me, too! Please, if You can make me survive this war—then I will only pray through Your name!

‘But please hear me and answer, Jesus Christ of the Almighty! ’Cause I will no longer serve the idols nor consult occult powers.

‘So if you can hear me, please save a poor man as I!’

Those were the words of prayer that Moro said, even though they seemed unorthodox.

Still they were the best words that he could muster. Like a stutterer’s prayer to a patient God.

So, the young preacher guided Moro to pray as he led him in total surrender.

Moro lowered his head and poured his soul to God. He cried as he gave himself completely.

That night was done, so he found rest. A rest from all the toil.

Thus by that weekend, Moro was assigned to the centre’s watchpost to stand sentry there.

He went on to serve in welfare camps through the four years of the cruel war. He shifted between watchposts of quite a few camps, standing guard.

For God Most High had heard him long before he knew to call. And whilst he still stuttered, He’d kept him this secure.

Now they call this man Future, as he lived on the edge of his times. They called him Morrow—like fresh days feel to seedlings.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

DAVID had been reigning for about forty years already. And in those years of his reign in Israel, soldiers have stood and fallen for him. The warlord had conquered lands, conquered nations. He’d taken territories, subdued enemies. Yet as the monarch grew older and nations bowed to him, there remained no wars to fight; and so his valiant men had nothing doing. His soldiers settled in families and kept livestock. They became shepherds and keepers of vines. The great ones among them got involved in public duties and administration. Still, there were a few who didn’t change with the changing tide. And chief among them was Joab, commander of the army. No, it wasn’t that the man didn’t settle down with family or other civil matters. But Joab wasn’t quite settled enough when it came to his heart and attitude. The old man had been quite loyal to David through the long years. But ever since the time that wars were done with, he had lost his sense of purpose. Joab wasn’t all that interested in n...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.50 (Final Episode) | KT OLLA

PRINCE S’alom was beaten once; and then a second time. It was by two things that baffle the mind. For not only was he shocked that his men kept running for their lives. As they fled when they were chased past; and he wished they could stop to help. But now he was even more dazed when he saw that his father’s men left him hanging. He realized that those boys weren’t sent to kill him. Yes, the Third One knew this from the start. That if David had wanted him dead, he’d have been long dead and buried. Now it was clear that he’d been taking advantage of the just man’s goodwill. And this he knew himself. The prince faced this truth; so it knocked him off that David was still being kind. No, he’d so taken things for granted. Therefore, it happened that one of the chasers who ran past returned to find Joab when he saw the prince hanging. He told the captain what he saw and assured him the prince wasn’t dead. Now when the general saw that the boy didn’t kill him, he went all mad and furious. ‘W...
